It's been a while -- not long enough for some of you perhaps -- since I did a Cardiacs poll. These are four of my favourite tracks off the Cardiacs albums that I have spun the most: Songs for Ships and Irons; On Land and in the Sea; Sing to God; A Little Man and a House and the Whole World Window. Of these four choices, do you have a favourite? ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me. |

| Other than the song "a dog called Sparky" which I heard on youtube I don't know this band hardly at all. |

^ Hopefully that will change now. ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me. |

You don´t listen enough guns and heaven born, man xD. There are so many diamonds on them. I voted for guarded line. But personally they´re all 10 or near ten for me. Big Ship might be my least favorite. Do you know I´m Eating In Bed? I love that song. It sounds so childishly creative and magically powerful to me. It really transports me to another world haha. No seriously Cardiacs are my favorite band ever. And I have a thing for On Land And In The Sea especially, but I wouldn´t want to decide. |

I like Heaven Born and Ever Bright and Guns a lot, and was tempted to include a track from each of those albums too, but those were later acquisitions for me (I started with Sing to God) and I wanted to keep the list short so that the video embeds would be limited so as not to make opening this too laggy (I get complaints when I do lots). I also wanted to keep it short to make it easier for people who aren't that familiar with the Cardiacs to not feel too overwhelmed when checking out music. Yep, I really love "I'm Eating In Bed" which is a bonus track on my issue of A Little Man and a House and the Whole World Window (it's one of my particular favourite Cardiacs songs). I also love the "All Spectacular" bonus track on that album. On Land and in the Sea is the Cardiacs album that tends to get the most playtime for me. ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before.

Cardiacs heaven! All ridiculously good! Big Ship is probably in my best 5 songs of all time. I'd probably rank them Big Ship - Ever So Closely Guarded Line - Dirty Boy - Whole World Window (the only one of these that I wouldn't rank top of its album), and then 99.99% of all further music including 99.5% of all prog. |

Voted Dirty Boy, but it could have been any of the set. ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution |
